Have this line
.\Exif\exiftool.exe -overwrite_original -Microsoft:Category="%tags%" %1
it works great for .mp4 but when i put image (jpg) in i instead get
    0 image files updated
    1 image files unchanged
this output with no tags changed

Microsoft:Category is a Quicktime tag (see the Quicktime tags page).  It can only appear in MP4/Mov based files.  While that does include a few image types, such HEIC and CR3, it cannot appear in jpegs or most other image types.  See the Supported File Types table to see what kinds of metadata can go in what file types.

Please take time to look at the Windows Metadata post I previously linked.
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).
